    That is what I thought of when I read that post.....there are several former Bucs QBs that went to and won SBs.  

    And hell....they even had the sons of former Super Bowl winning QBs start for them:    Chris Simms,  Brian Griese

    But, they do have Brad Johnson whom I would think would be a folk hero in Tampa....but does not seem to be that.   You and Axe are from Tampa area-ish.  What is the status of Brad Johnson there?

  • Just heard this bit of Trivia on PFT:

    Only  3 Three teams have won  Super Bowls with 3 different QBs:

    Packers:  Starr,   Favre, Rodgers

    Giants:  Simms, Hostetler, Eli  Manning   (also had Kerry Collins start and lose)

    Redskins:   Theismann,  Rypien,  Williams.  (also had Billy Kilmer start and lose)

    Teams who had 2 starting QBs win:

    49ers:   Montana, Young  (also had Colin Kaepernik and Jimmy Garrapolo start and lose)

    Raiders:  Plunkett, Stabler  (also had Daryl Lamonica and Rich Gannon start and lose)

    Broncos:  Elway,  Peyton  (also had Craig Morton start and lose)

    Cowboys:  Staubach, Aikman  (also had Craig Morton start and lose)

    Chiefs:  Dawson, Mahomes

    Colts:  Unitas,  Peyton  (also had Earl Morrall start and lose)

    Ravens:  Dilfer,  Flacco

    Steelers:  Bradshaw, R-berger  (also had Neil O'Donnell start and lose)

    Add:   Buccaneers:   Brad Johnson,  Tom Brady

    He's just Brad Johnson. They love Mike Alstott up there. And they love that defense ... Derrick Brooks, John Lynch, etc.

    There are not a lot of Bucs fans here in Naples. Mostly Packers, Bears, Vikings, Lions, Browns, Steelers, Patriots ... All of the Midwest and East Coast teams have fan clubs here. The old-timers are Dolphins fans.

    So, not much love for ole Brad.   

    And yea, I figured that Naples was more or less an "open city"  given the transient nature of most of its population. 

    And, actually, in checking,  I see that Naples is actually almost 50 miles closer to Miami than it is to Tampa.   So now that makes sense that they may lean toward the Dolphins. 

  • There have only been  3  Quarterback rematches in NFL history:

    Bradshaw  vs Staubach

    Aikman vs. Kelly

    Eli Manning vs. Brady

    The first QB listed won both matchups. 

  • The following QBs won  Championships in both pre and post Super Bowl eras:

    Johnny Unitas

    Bart Starr

    Len Dawson

  • OK,  the new Answer to the Trivia Question:   Name those QBs that have won Championships with 2 different teams:

    Tobin Rote

    Peyton Manning

    Tom Brady.
